I'm liking your mock. It is very realistic and would really help this team. Nice job. I reallly like Earl Wold and Slay. Both are future starters imo.

Mine is more pie in the sky. I need an update.

Thanks Blood. Keenan Allen is being compared to a young Anquan Boldin. Allen isnt the fasted (straight line speed), but in the open field he is elusive and can break tackles. And he is probably the most complete receiver in this draft. He can block like Hines Ward and loves to do it too. I believe because of his injury he is one of the most under-looked at player in this draft.

Foot work was exceptional.
Mechanics were exceptional.
Arm strength was above average and very accurate on the deep outs.He chose a routine that was far more difficult than what most QB 's use on their pro days.And he chose to throw into the wind today.

A freshman starter at Mater Dei. He has been in this position (at the highest levels), as a starter for the past two levels he has played at for 8 years. Think about that.

I don't watch much amateur football, but I remember him as a freshman playing at Ohio State. That kid wasn't fazed in prime time against the Buckeyes and 100,000 fans that wanted to see him crushed. I've only caught glimpses of him here and there, but have always thought that he was the kind of guy that I would want to lead a team.

Back tracking again. You are easy. Just corner you and you cower into a little ball.

I have disagreed with the assessment about him having a below average arm. I would hardly think that is acknowledging what scouts have said about it.

LOL... its not back tracking buddy... you asked for proof that scouts questioned his arm strength before the injury... I provided proof. Then you said you were talking about below average arm strength... I have no idea where that assessment came from.

You can spin all you want but scouts have questioned his arm strength from the jump.

"There's no knock (against him)," Mayock added. "His arm strength is what I thought it was. It's good. It's just not elite."

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout, wasn't as sold on Barkley's arm talent. "You just want to see a little more giddy up to use a baseball term," Jeremiah said. "You want to see a little more life on his fastball.

Matt Barkley is the first 3-time captain ever at USC, I think that says a lot.

considering the downslide USC has had under his captaincy (two 5 loss seasons), culminating in a locker room brawl started when people questioned his leadership, I certainly agree that a lot is said by that.
